I have a number of used brake shoes. Ages ago I would take them to a local brake shop and they would sandblast them and put on new material. Is anyone still offering this service? If not is there any place to get the correct stuff to DIY? I should imagine for owners of 50s era cars aftermarket would not be a viable option. Thanks

See if a local big rig repair shop does brake shoe relining.

For brake shoes, there are good after market options.
